After a long wait and multiple delays, Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s The Division has finally been released for PC, Xbox One and PS4. While the console owners aren’t facing any technical issues, PC users, like most of the times, are experiencing bugs, errors, crashes and other related issues.

However, the good thing is that Ubisoft isn’t ignoring all the reports coming in and are ensuring to fix things with time. As for servers, they are already monitoring the situation closely and trying to provide a seamless experience for the players.

In the meanwhile, we have compiled a list of issues The Division has been facing with possible workarounds. You can try these to fix the problem and hope that the next patch addresses any other unsolvable problems soon.

The Division Errors, Crashes, Bugs, Black Screen and other Related problems with Fixes

#1 The Division Intro Black Screen Fix
On launching the game, if you are only seeing a black screen with music in the background, you should try pressing Alt+Enter. If that doesn’t resolve the black screen issue, you should try running the game in the windowed mode.

To do that, in your Launch options (in Steam) set the game to run in ‘windowed’ mode. When the game starts in windowed mode, you can press Alt+Enter now to get to full screen. Just make sure that the resolution you are using in-game, should be supported by your screen or you will get the black screen.

If that doesn't work, try this:

Go to - Documents > My Games > Tom Clancy's The Division >

Right click and edit- GFXSettings.Rogue_x64

Change the "Width" and "Height" to the correct resolution. (ex.1920x1080)

Change "Windowed" or "Fullscreen" if you want and save the file.

#2 The Division Delta 20010186 Error Fix
The error will occur if you are unable to connect to the servers. There could be two reasons; one the servers are actually down or your router is unable to establish the proper connection.

To resolve the latter issue, you should make sure that your firewall/antivirus tool is not blocking your game. You also need to check if the required ports are open or not. This should fix your connectivity issue.

Find the value that says “FullScreen” and set it to true. Save the settings and disable any background applications you might be running.
